...tutor. My skill set allows me to develop computer programs optimized to a student's learning objectives. I possess excellent communication skills (high school national debater). Most importantly, I logged over a thousand hours teaching classes, tutoring students on all levels. As a bonus, my wife teaches writing at Harvard University and Princeton before that giving me an edge when reading essays and papers. In my spare time, I am avid tennis player and skier. I...

Students may be resistant to tutoring, but I put my focus on making the student as comfortable as possible to ensure the best learning experience. My variety of teaching experiences as well as my demanding background in sports and...

...tutor to be able to explain the same concept in several different ways in order to find the method that works best for the student. I truly love helping others learn and grow. My favorite subjects are Statistics (of any level), Algebra I and II, Calculus I, Pre-Algebra, and Pre-Calculus, but I enjoy any opportunity to work with a student. Nothing is more satisfying than having a student who I've worked with tell me that...

...incorporate this into my teaching by regularly checking my students' comprehension levels and crafting custom materials to address their particular weaknesses. I try to make the learning process disciplined yet collaborative, so the student feels like he/she is not merely an information receptacle. In this way, thinking and learning skills develop along with knowledge of content. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed helping students succeed in the past and look forward to engendering more understanding, competency, and success.

...apply to graduate school. Alongside the application cycle, I am excited about tutoring science and math subjects given my predilection for engineering. As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for the Economics Department where I taught lower and upper division sections along with hosting individual office hours. Herein I learned that the best method to convey complex concepts is through customized practice problems that increase in difficulty and the number of interrelated topics they...

...sciences. I worked hard in high school, undergrad, and graduate school to expand my knowledge on the subject and become an expert in math. I know that math isn't everyone's favorite subject, so I'm here to share the tips and tricks that I've picked up in algebra, calculus, statistics, and trig with everyone. I'm always happy to lend a hand to those who need help. If you're having trouble in mathematics, let me know and...

...job to figure out how a student learns and then teach them the material in a way that it not only makes sense but becomes interesting. One thing that I love about tutoring is that, unlike in the classroom, I am able to work one-on-one with a student and teach the material in a way that makes sense to that individual student. Outside of academics, I love to be outdoors and travel. My favorite activities...

...on repetition and memorization, but on a way of thinking that all students should embrace. My goal is to help students understand the problems they are trying to solve and to promote a critical thinking environment so the student can not only solve a given problem, but any problem they encounter that is similar to it. I am very vocal and will try to mold my tutoring style to each student's personal needs. Outside of...

...about the material they are working on because it means they have an understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. I want to encourage students to always be able to explain why they picked a certain answer or what steps they took to solve a problem. I also want students to have a connection to the material and understand how it relates to their existing knowledge. The more connections we make between concepts, the better understanding...

...result, I spend a lot of time thinking about Biology, Chemistry, Statistics, and Policy. I love to teach and work with the Pacific Science Center as a Communication Fellow. I attended Stanford University for both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry. While there, I researched the immune system and how asthma and allergies develop. After college I managed a summer camp where I developed my love of working with...
